Sitting appropriately at the water’s edge, The Fish Place makes the most of its riverside position with view-capturing glass frontage on the first floor (and riverside outdoor seating come the warmer months). In fact, once the wines start to be poured and the smell of cooking fish leaks from the kitchen, you could almost forget the Thames and believe you were at the seaside.
Sadly, the reality of the location is less attractive. The Fish Place lies well off the beaten track around the back of Clapham Junction station on previously industrial land that now boasts a large complex of new-build apartments, a hotel, the London Heliport and very little else. It’s certainly up and coming, but hasn’t got there yet.
